Abstract
The results of numerical calculations of the supersonic rarefied flow through an infinite, periodic cascade of flat plates set transverse to the incident flow are presented. The flow in the vicinity of the cascade is described on the basis of the kinetic Boltzmann equation. The Knudsen numbers, based on the plate span, the distances between the plates and the scalelength of the flow under consideration, range from 0.2 to 0.003. Both steady-state regimes with a shock attached to the cascade and time-dependent ones with an upstream-traveling shock are investigated.
